Mamma & Jan goes to California
Nice weather in the vine districts and an early thanksgiving turkey in Petaluma. That's the short summary of a nice weekend in Northern California!
Outside one of the vineyards in Napa (Sattui). We visited Mondavi, a classical first stop when you enter the Napa valley. Next we had lunch in Rutherford, Drove up to St. Helena and Calistoga. I thought we could take a look at Old Faithful, the geyser in Calistoga but $8 to wait up to an hour to a water fountain....nope. We drove back down south and thought Niebaum-Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola's estate would be a nice finish. Not so. It's now called Rubicon and they charge $25 entrance fee...come on! It was never that good...
We drove to Sattui instead. More people maybe but no entrance fee and complementary tasting.
The evening was spent with the Sas family in Petaluma. They treated us to an early Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks guys! Nicer dinner and breakfast. Alisa prepared dessert and crepes for breakfast. Very good!

Best coffee on campus? Try Mikael Ottosson's office...
Two weeks research on sites like wholelattelove.com and some serious $$$ resulted in what you see above. The white board now has some very important info on different beans and grinder settings.
Check out the fridge under the desk:-)

Blurb your own book!
If you own a Mac then you've been able to do photo books for a long time with iPhoto. PC users can now use Blurb to do their own photo books.

I have yet to try it (the Mac version) but it looks promising.
Books starts at less than $20.

Cowboys and Native Americans...
Went to see a Powwow and a Rodeo this last summer.
The Powwow is held every year in Palo Alto at the Stanford campus. This was my first visit. The Rodeo is also a yearly event arranged at Driscoll Ranches almost down by the Pacific Ocean on Highway 84. Maybe 45 minutes drive from Palo Alto over the mountains.
